About Layrite

Layrite is a barbershop brand known for water-based pomades that wash out easily and hold styles in place. The range covers classic shine looks and modern matte finishes. This guide answers the most common questions and helps you pick the right product for your hair.

How to Apply Layrite Pomade

1. Wash or dampen hair. Towel dry so it is slightly damp.
2. Scoop a small amount. Rub between palms until smooth.
3. Work through hair from roots to ends. Add a touch more if needed.
4. Comb or shape by hand to set the style.
5. Refresh during the day with a little water to restyle.

Tip: For strong all-day hold use Layrite Superhold Pomade. For a natural look use Layrite Natural Matte Cream. For maximum texture use Layrite Cement Clay.

Is Layrite Pomade Natural?

Layrite is not a fully natural formula. It is water-based, not petroleum-based, which helps it rinse out with shampoo and reduces heavy build-up. The range is designed for daily styling without a greasy feel. If you want the lightest finish, choose the matte cream.

What Is Layrite Cement Clay?

Layrite Cement Clay is a high hold, matte finish styling clay. It adds strong texture and volume with a dry look. It suits short to medium hair and thick hair that needs control.

• Cement Clay: strongest hold, matte finish, high texture
• Superhold Pomade: high hold, medium to high shine, classic look
• Natural Matte Cream: medium hold, matte finish, flexible feel
• Original Pomade: medium hold, medium shine, easy restyle
